Unvaccinated People Over the Age of 12 Are Now Banned From Trains and Planes in Canada — Even If They Test Negative for SARS-CoV-2

🇨🇦
@COVID19Up: Unvaccinated people over the age of 12 won't be able to board a plane or passenger train in Canada beginning today (Nov. 30), and a negative SARS-CoV-2 test will no longer serve as a substitute.

The policy came into effect on October 30, but the federal government allowed a short transition period for unvaccinated people who could board as long as they provided a negative molecular SARS-CoV-2 test taken within 72 hours before their trip.

The strict new rule comes into effect as Canadian government panics about the emergence of the Omicron variant.

While many airlines have so far been doing random spot checks to ensure travellers are vaccinated, Air Canada and West Jet have confirmed they will ask for proof from everyone boarding in Canada as of today.

Other measures, like masks and health screenings, will still be mandatory.

"If you indicate to your airline or railway company that you're eligible to board, but fail to provide proof of vaccination or valid COVID-19 test result, you won't be allowed to travel and could face penalties or fines," the government's website states.

The rule does not apply to commuter trains.

The U.S. CDC Now "Strongly Encourages" COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shots for All Adults Because of Omicron

🇺🇸💉
@COVID19Up: The U.S. CDC is expanding its COVID-19 vaccine booster recommendations for Americans following the arrival of the Omicron variant in North America.

"Everyone ages 18 and older should get a booster shot either when they are 6 months after their initial Pfizer or Moderna series or 2 months after their initial J&J vaccine," the CDC said in a statement on Monday (Nov. 29).

The spread of the variant "further emphasizes the importance of vaccination, boosters, and prevention efforts needed to protect against COVID-19," the CDC said, which also "strongly" encouraged all adults who are not yet vaccinated to get the shots "as soon as possible.

Additionally, parents should get any eligible children in their homes vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible, the CDC urged.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer Goes on Unhinged Rant, Calling for Biden to "Have the Military Run" an Operation to "Require Vaccination Universally" in New "War Against COVID"

🇺🇸
@COVID19Up: Jim Cramer demanded that Biden impose a nationwide COVID-19 vaccine mandate on every American run by the U.S. military in an unhinged rant on Monday (Nov. 29).

“With the new Omicron variant sweeping the globe, how do we finally put an end to this pandemic? How do we save lives and get business back to normal so everybody can put dinner on the table?" he asked.

Cramer’s proposal: “The federal government needs to require vaccines, including booster shots, for everyone in America by, say, January 1st.”

"The government must require vaccinations. Not of this group or that group, not company by company, in a cruise ship by cruise ship, or airline by airline or governor by governor. The buck stops at the White House."

"It’s time to admit that we have to go to war against COVID. Require vaccination universally. Have the military run it.”
“Like a Re-Education Camp”: Dutch City Installs Sound System That Repeatedly Warns Citizens to Stay Away From Each Other

🇳🇱
@COVID19Up: The city of Eindhoven in the Netherlands has installed sound systems in public shopping areas that repeatedly warn citizens to stay away from each other to combat the spread of COVID-19.

"To prevent the spread of the virus: keep one and a half meters away from each other. Stick to the basic rules. Only together can we get corona under control."

The announcements are played in Dutch and in English every 15 minutes during working hours.

A number of residents above those shops are going screaming mad. A man named Peter lives above one of the shops. He says it makes him 'crazy'. "It's like I ended up in a re-education camp."

"You hear it through the windows. From 9 am to 6 pm you hear the same message every day, even on weekends."

"It is really forced to you, pointing the finger. You make a visit to Eindhoven very unfriendly in this way. I have experienced many things in my life, but this beats everything."

A U.S. Judge Just Blocked Biden's COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Healthcare Workers Across the United States

🇺🇸💉
@COVID19Up: A U.S. judge on Tuesday (Nov. 30) blocked a Biden administration COVID-19 vaccination mandate for healthcare workers and applied the ruling nationwide where the requirement was still in effect, according to a court ruling.

Judge Terry A. Doughty in the U.S. District Court Western District of Louisiana ruled in favor of a request from Republican Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry to block an emergency regulation issued November 4 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that required the COVID-19 vaccine for nearly every full-time employee, part-time employee, volunteer, and contractor working at a wide range of healthcare facilities receiving Medicaid or Medicaid funding.

Doughty argued in his ruling that the Biden administration does not have the constitutional authority to go around Congress by issuing such a mandate.

Slovenia Set to Ban Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine After Woman’s Death

🇸🇮💉
@COVID19Up: Slovenia announced on Tuesday (Nov. 30) it would ban Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine unless people specifically demands it, after concluding a young neurologist's death was definitely linked to the injection.

Slovenia suspended the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, one of several it was using, after the death of the young woman who had developed blood clots and bleeding in her brain.

"A commission established to examine the case of the death unanimously concluded that the tragic outcome was related to the vaccine," commission member Zoran Simonovic said.

FDA Advisory Panel Endorses Merck’s Experimental COVID-19 Pill, Despite Reduced Efficacy and Serious Safety Questions

🇺🇸💊
@COVID19Up: An FDA advisory panel on Tuesday (Nov. 30) narrowly endorsed the use of Merck's experimental COVID-19 pill, despite questions about the drug’s effectiveness, safety and whether it would help SARS-CoV-2 mutate into even more dangerous variants.

The FDA’s Antimicrobial Drugs Advisory Committee voted 13 to 10 to recommend emergency authorization of molnupiravir, an antiviral drug initially hailed as a potential game changer in the battle against COVID-19 since it can be taken at home instead of at a hospital.

The drug needs final authorization from the FDA and CDC before it’s available to the public on an emergency basis. The FDA doesn’t have to take the panel’s advice, but sometimes it does.

Dr. Sankar Swaminathan, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Utah School of Medicine, voted against endorsing Merck’s medication because the efficacy was “modest at best.” Swaminathan also said he worried that the drug’s potential affect on human DNA wasn’t adequately understood.

“Given the large potential population affected, the risk of widespread effects on potential birth defects, especially delayed effects on the male, has not been adequately studied,” he warned.

Navy Medical Team Deployed to New Mexico at the Request of FEMA to Help With COVID-19

🇺🇸
@COVID19Up: The Navy is deploying a 20-member medical team to New Mexico to help the San Juan Regional Medical Center cope with a staff shortage for treating large numbers of COVID-19 patients.

The military team is being deployed at the request of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is scheduled to arrive at the Farmington hospital on December 5.

New Mexico is one of seven states where U.S. military teams are currently deployed or soon will, according to a statement issued Monday (Nov. 29) by Army North.

“As COVID-19 hospitalization rates continue to shift across the country, decreasing in certain areas while increasing in others, we unfortunately find new communities and healthcare facilities overburdened and in need of federal, military assistance,” said Army Lt. Gen. John R. Evans, Jr.

📍 World Council for Health Statement on Omicron (B.1.1.529)

World Council for Health (WCH) stands in opposition to the widespread scaremongering as a result of the discovery of the B.1.1.529 (Omicron) SARS-CoV-2 variant. According to available evidence, the variant is not of more concern than any others.

WCH recognizes that all viruses mutate and that natural immunity offers better protection against viral mutations than the Covid-19 inoculations.

We caution against the reinstatement of lockdowns and other unnecessary measures that have not been proven to slow the spread of the virus. These measures have been shown to cause undue harm.

WCH stands with African nations and recognizes their ability to determine what is best for their people. WCH does not believe that these nations are in need of “rescue” by Western nations eager to vaccinate and firmly stands against any and all travel bans.

COVID-19 During Pregnancy Doesn’t Harm Baby’s Brain, Study Finds

📝
@COVID19Up: COVID-19 of mild to moderate severity in pregnant women appears to have no effect on the brain of the developing fetus, according to a new study presented on Tuesday (Nov. 30) at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

“Women infected with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy are concerned that the virus may affect the development of their unborn child, as is the case with some other viral infections,” said study senior author Sophia Stöcklein, M.D., from the Department of Radiology at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, in Germany. “So far, although there are a few reports of vertical transmission to the fetus, the exact risk and impact remain largely unclear. The aim of our study was to fill this gap in knowledge regarding the impact of a maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection on fetal brain development.”

“In our study, there was no evidence that a maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection has any effect on the brain development of the unborn child,”
Dr. Stöcklein said. “This fact should help to reassure affected parents.”

Dr. Stöcklein cautioned that only mothers with mild to moderate symptoms and without hospitalization were included in the study.

CDC, FDA NIH and Fauci Are Doing More Harm Than Good

🇺🇸
@COVID19Up: In this video, pathologist Chris Martenson shows how the CDC, FDA, NIH and Fauci have failed the American public.

The highest goals of public health agencies should always be doing the greatest good when the totality of their efforts are summed up. This means that after all is said and done, fewer people die in a given year and more people are living healthier lives. That is, less mortality and less morbidity (sickness).

How have the various agencies done in the US on those fronts? Terribly! They get an “F.” In 2021 excess deaths are higher than they should be, by far, and are even running above 2020 levels—the supposed height of the pandemic.

What are the reasons for this? We don’t know. For some reason the national health agencies are not only silent on the matter, but apparently completely uninterested.

Omicron Was Reported in Europe Days Before South Africa Detected the Variant and Told the WHO About It

🇯🇵🇫🇷
@COVID19Up: Dutch health authorities announced on Tuesday (Nov. 30) that they found Omicron cases of SARS-CoV-2 dating back 11 days, indicating that it was already spreading in Europe at least five days before South Africa detected the variant and told the world.

The Netherlands disclosed that patient samples dating from November 19 and 23 were found to contain the Omicron variant. It was last Wednesday (Nov. 24) that South Africa reported the existence of Omicron to the WHO. That indicates the new variant had a bigger head start in the Netherlands than previously believed.

It is unclear exactly where or when the Omicron variant first emerged, and Tuesday’s Dutch announcement further muddies the timeline.

COVID-19 Expert Who Often Advises the White House Claims U.S. Probably Has 2,000 Omicron Cases Already

🇺🇸
@COVID19Up: Dr. Charity Dean, a former top-tier official at the California Department of Public Health, is trying to warn Americans that the Omicron variant is probably already in their backyard.

"I have no doubt that there are in fact cases here in the US right now," Dean said of Omicron. "In fact, my dirty math based on a number of assumptions, including international travel—I would estimate there's around 2,000 cases in the US right now."

Dr. Dean suspects the only real reason the U.S. hasn't found Omicron within its borders yet is because the country simply isn't looking hard enough for it.

"The challenge for the United States is we are not doing a sufficient amount of genomic sequencing to have detected that," he said.

Over the past six months, the U.S. has only sequenced and shared roughly 7% of its positive SARS-CoV-2 tests. And recently, labs haven't been doing as much sequencing as they were before.

"So many labs ramped down their sequencing efforts, understandably, throughout the Delta surge, when everything was the Delta variant," Dean said.

That cost-saving move means it's harder to be on alert for Omicron now.
